How to add % sign for dynamically changing metrics based on parameter?

Q&A

Reference question- How can I change legend names dynamically as per parameter control selection?

With reference to the above chart, I have calculations in metric1,Metric2 which are a mix of numbers and percentages. I would like to display a % sign when a percentage metric is selected in the dropdown. How do I implement that?

I understand I can select the data type for overall metric1 and not individually? Is there any workaround?

I also tried directly using a calculated fields inside the metric1 but it shows me an aggregation error so I had to put the calculations inside metric1 only.

Hi @Rishita_Chebrolu,
There is no way to utilize different types of metrics on the same visual.

The best work around for this case would be to utilize a free form layout; create a visual that utilizes percentages and one that utilizes numbers.
Under the ‘rules’ section, set each visual to ‘hide this visual by default’. Then create a rule for each one to ‘show visual’ based on what your parameter is set as on the dropdown.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

But this would only when both the selected metrics in bar and line are %. If one is a % and the other is a number it would show number also as %.

Hi @Rishita_Chebrolu,
I’m not quite sure what you mean, could you please elaborate? As mentioned above, there are current limitations that don’t allow visuals to show numbers and percentages at the same time.
